Southbound on the Appalachian Trail

Come on out to one of the following Great Outdoor Provision Company locations and catch my slideshow and prep talk on Thru-Hiking the Appalachian Trail.

I’ll be giving the full slideshow of my southbound thruhike, and a question and answer session afterward with tips and tricks for a successful thru-hike.
